  1. That's awesome! Wonder how easy it came off though
  2. No idea on the fit but came across this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-Golf-Mk6-3-5DR ... _887wt_907 States you can always return it if you're not happy, might be worth a punt
  3. Tried installing it yesterday and have failed Anyone round Manchester available at any point to give me a hand? Spliced wires, cut wires and connected them, stuck everything back together and the provided switch did nothing when I locked/unlocked the door and the button for the wing mirrors did nothing. Took it all apart, started again, got the controls in the door working but I still can't get the switch from cookie working at all Massive. Fail.
  4. From The Times
  5. Anyone in the North West fitted them themselves and got it working? Had a right stinker trying to get it to work and it's doing my head in! Eventually got it working like OEM with the internal door buttons, stuck the door panel back together and now they've stopped again. The switch that I got off cookie I just can't get working at all, even holding it my hand and pressing it does nothing
  6. Haha some of them are awesome! Loving the stubble on one of them
  7. 2004 VQ35DE 33,000 miles UpRev, K&N Filter, Plenum Spacer Japspeed K2 RS Tuning FWHP: 293.4 FWTQ:272 ft/lb WHP :242 Bought already modded and mapped, keeps me happy for a while!
  8. If you need any help with a website just give me a shout, it's what I do for a job
  9. Might also be after a set once they cover all the bolts! Will you do different coloured screws?
  10. That plate cereal is ace! Think the most expensive looking plate I've seen was a Veyron that drove past me with the number plate "B1". Wonder which cost more, the car or the plate?
  11. Do you just need 2 Rays or a set of 4? I might be tempted to sell mine but it would be with tyres. Falkan 452's all round with 8mm tread on fronts and 6mm on rears.
  12. Can't wait to get started on my engine bay! I think it'll be the first overhaul before I change the exterior!
  13. As a good friend of mine would say, bang tidy
  14. I was going to ask the same question yesterday! What if you don't have a Costco card and can'r get hold of one? What's the next best, something like this? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Liftmaster-Mult ... PEUCF06E6J
  15. powerline = homeplugs
  16. Prefer the standard ones but hats off for doing it yourself, easy enough?
  17. Girlfriend had a 5mph bump at a roundabout a few months back, woman was fine, drove off after swapping details with the police turning up randomly. Claim goes through and we found out the total claim was £7500 to fix a bumper on a corsa and her 'whiplash'. Muppet.
  18. Someone needs to buy
  19. Even if the weeded out all of the fake injuries, uninsured drivers, morons, unsafe drivers and idiotic chavs, the premiums would still be sky high as like the majority of businesses they're money grabbing ****s and won't lower their prices once they have seen people will pay the highest rates!
  20. Before I had the PlayOn I used to use my macbook -> PS3 via PSMS which worked great but some files struggled to get transcoded on the fly. If you have a PS3 then you won't need the PlayOn for majority of files, you can just use PSMS on your mac. You just have to set the network adaptor the correct one, add folders to PSMS and your PS3 should pick the folder up. I'd try that out first before buying the PlayOn as your PS3 might do everything you need
  21. Yeah it should work over your network then. Depends on the homeplugs, what make are they and 85mbps or 200mbps? I think the lower might struggle to stream 1080p. But yes, plug one of these into your TV, into your router which goes through homeplug to your laptop with external hard drive that is being shared and it should all work for under £100
  22. If you buy the standalone unit you connect it to your TV via HDMI and then you have two choices for getting the content onto the TV. 1. Plug in USB HDD to the PlayOn. 2. Connect the PlayOn to the same network your laptop is on, share the folder on your laptop then the PlayOn will find it. You can do this via ethernet or buy a wireless dongle for the PlayOn. if you want to stream HD stuff (720/1080p) you won't be able to do it over wireless. You will either have to have the media stored on a USB HDD or have the PlayOn and laptop connected to a router/switch via ethernet cable. One of the main reasons I went with the PlayOn over the Apple TV was the interface, ease of use, and the fact that out of the box it can play pretty much any file type(avi, mp4, wmv, mkv, iso). You can also go for the standard version which can house a 2TB HDD, I have the mini as my stored media is elsewhere.
  23. Ew
  24. If you're looking to stream things from a mac/pc/NAS box then you can't beat this little bit of kit. I have it hooked up to my HP ProLiant server which is running FreeNAS with 4TB RAID1 so my data is backed up. http://www.playonhd.com/en/?upn=product ... playonhdm2 I contemplated an Apple TV before I bought the PlayOn Mini but to get what I wanted required hacking the Apple TV and putting custom firmware on it, the PlayOn just works out the box perfectly for me.
  25. 9 miles each way. 5 of those miles are on the East Lancs (A Road) which is 50mph but is a mixture of that and traffic. 4 of the miles are stop starting in traffic on a bad day, or 20-30mph in average traffic on a good day. Average between 22-24mpg depending on traffic.
